Brazil doesn't play like Spain, even less so play like Italy. No way Brazil can win if they don't have the required flair. They won't graft. Either they'll have a talented team or they will fail.
I didn't like either the opening nor the closing ceremony but it doesn't matter.
It have been fantastic 17 days and London provided very good organization, great sporting facilities and great atmosphere.
Thank you!
Kinda glad the Olympics are over. It was the worst Olympics for Norway in like 50 years. I have never been more embarrassed to be Norwegian than right now. I want to move and get away from this shithole of a country. I fucking hate it here
Good Olympics for GB, even though in team sports a k a the World Championships inside the OG, they were a walking bye. Brits need better perfomances in those sports if they want to be considered a powerhouse.
And at last, Russia gets one of the big medals, in volley and against Brazil no less. I celebrated the MP twice as it was repeated .
The better team won, it doesn´t happen too often

Handball, volleyball and basketball aren't big sports here. I'd like them to be, the latter especially. All of them had excellent crowds and atmospheres so chances are more kids here are going to want to take part.
I have to say, this french handball team is very shady. They all have such chiselled physiques compared to the other teams... It's like you wonder whether they really practise the same sport!
I think it's sad that there is a cloud of suspicion over the winners.
This closing ceremony was pretty good with Imagine, Wish you were here and Walrus with Brand. Then it turned to any generic 2012 party with Taio Cruz and nonsense.
little belarus, doping soviet-style while the rest of the world has moved on ages ago. anti-doping agencies keep busting albanians, belarussians, kazakhs etc...poor bastards.
great performance by hungary overall but hardly surprising. they used to be a powerhouse back in the days, rock solid per capita achievements too. as long as water is involved in one way or the other, the hungarians are up there with the best.
btw if it wasn't for phelps, cseh would be a five-time (!) olympic champion.
